The Las Vegas Raiders re-tooled their cornerback room this offseason in the image of new head coach Pete Carroll. Unfortunately, Jack Jones was a casualty of this change, as he was released just weeks before the 2025 NFL Draft.
As fans remember, Jones was originally claimed on waivers partway through the 2023 season by interim general manager Champ Kelly and head coach Antonio Pierce, the latter of whom was his high school head football coach.
Jones became an instant superstar for the Raiders' defense. In a Thursday Night Football game, he had arguably the most impressive pick-six in NFL history, and Jones also had an iconic interception of Patrick Mahomes on Christmas Day that he returned for a score.
